Casual/sport fishing
>Cheap/Low skill
>Billions more humans
>Contamination from substance abuse
>Degradation of ecosystems not designed for residence

Industrialization
>With proper equipment, there is little margin for error if you follow instruction (cheap/no skill)
>Requires fractionally less time and fewer workers = insanely more profitable
>Results in global overfishing
>Results in species loss in multiple ecosystems
>Reefs outright die, kelp is both rampant and vacant, sea beds lose any stability, lakes cannot remain stable, beaches swell, rivers lose any appreciation from local wildlife, your local pond evaporates due to a multitude of seeds no longer being consumed, etc.

Most people do live near coastlines or freshwater areas, what used to allow for human residence for hundreds, even thousands of years at these locations DOES NOT hold the same value in the year 2025. Ever heard about "coral reefs dying" and that was disappointing for tourism? We've lost nearly 60% of ALL reefs in 60 years from human fishing alone. Plankton? Lobsters? Crab? Whaling? I'm not being a hippie-crybaby, but it's real fact that the technology we have to make fishing easy is globally criminal.

Great fun for you, though.
